The month of May is flower season! Our annual flowers are a perfect gift for all mothers on Mother's Day, and can be purchased at Our Family's Harvest Farm Market, opening May 11th! We are also continuing to put our crops in the ground to get ready for summer's fresh produce! (Fingers crossed for good weather!)

FLOWERS:We started planting our annual flowers in our first greenhouse in mid February. Our first greenhouse consists of mostly geraniums (Colleen's favorite) for the first week, and then we begin to plant a variety of other flowers, including petunias and million bells. ​

Now the flowers are starting to bloom and are growing fast in the warm greenhouses! We are planting in our third greenhouse and are getting ready to start planting into the fourth and final greenhouse. Flower season is just around the corner!!:)

HAY:We sell hay year-round, and take inquiries by phone call. Visit the "Stanton Bros. Hay" page for more information.

TOMATOES:We seeded our first crop of tomatoes on January 22nd right in our kitchen! It is critical that we seed the tomatoes ourselves so that we can ensure that they receive the proper care to grow into healthy plants that produce delicious fruit. It is also important that we seed them during the last couple weeks of January so that the plants are ready to be planted in the ground in early April in our outdoor tomato tunnel system. This allows us to produce ripe fruit by the beginning of June, giving our customers the most local fruit so early in the growing season. We take great pride in providing local, farm fresh produce for our customers that tastes like a real tomato!

As you can see in the pictures below, the tomatoes are already growing fast! In just five days, they are already growing up through the soil into little seedling plants with leaves! :)

*We transplanted our first seeding of tomatoes into "root tutor" trays in our first greenhouse on February 13th where they will continue to grow into healthy plants. Then, in early April, they will be transplanted again into the ground in our outdoor tomato tunnel system, where they grow into mature, fruit-bearing plants! The second seeding of tomatoes was seeded on February 6th in our kitchen, and they will eventually be transplanted into larger growing cells in the greenhouse. *#HappyPlanting!

We are getting ready to plant our THIRD crop of tomatoes in the ground! These plants are healthy and growing fast. They will be planted in the ground in our biggest outdoor tunnel in mid-May and begin to produce fruit by July!
